Thanks. I wonder if they make something that attaches between the rear of the truck and the front of the trailer to make the whole rig basically one object moving through the airstream. Something stretchy and yet able to deflect air?

I don't own a trailer, but I wonder how a hi-low type trailer fares in terms of the percentage of range loss?

Looks like an X-Ray of an aliens spine.

I'm happy you're here too, Brian! I used to be a Network Administrator and a programmer. I can say I definitely would like to see the nerdy stuff and be more informed about OTA updates. Anti-glare headlight settings for all would be nice. Real leather covering the entire seat (I have the Lariat...

I know what everyone's thinking on the name...or maybe it's just me.

Ugh, I know. Cotton balls 7 drops peppermint oil on each placed in small receptacle (I use those little metal ingredient cups) and placed strategically around the truck - in frunk storage compartment, center console, under rear seat. -- no mice, ever! Renew 3 drops on each one every 6 mos...

This popped into my Google feed this morning. Has anyone else seen Ford's latest sales figures? https://autos.yahoo.com/ev-and-future-tech/articles/ford-sees-remarkable-sales-surge-091500323.html

I know, that's significant tweaking on what is it, 2 or 3 modules to get the glare free feature.

A Kill-O-Watt or similar power meter could out rule any unwarranted load from the older cooler. But I suspect like others it could be a re-calculation of SOC based on temperature changes experienced by the BMS, plus energy to keep the battery in its happy zone.

That's correct. Apparently, you can adjust the target SOC using FDFS to around 90% from the default on some models that for some reason are pre-set at around 80%. I was reading that this can cause result in SOC fluctuations up to 98% though, so not sure if I want to try changing the default SOC...

Thanks Tim, but what is the voltage threshold for updates potentially failing?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not one to repeat mistakes - that's why I'm on this board. That and to share whatever meager knowledge I can. We have a wealth of former electrical engineers and auto technicians. I can remember when even EVs were simple, a chopper controller, a bunch 6 or 12v...

That's $60 cheaper at $94.99 and 55A than the first one referenced above at 75A and $160.00 by RLXXI. I wonder if 55A is sufficient amperage?

I thought of an idea: I have a leftover AGM battery from a Chevy Volt that is actually perfectly good (didn't need to replace it after all). I could hook that up with a pair of jumper cables and then hook my 10A with 50A boost style charger to the battery to provide the extra oomph to get the...

Thanks for the consideration. I live in Yachats, Oregon, on a remote part of the central Oregon coast.

I thought I would just do the "Front Parking Sensors Unavailable" recall update myself, but now I'm re-thinking driving an hour to take it to the dealership vs. $198 for power supply plus $50 for FDRS again. Last time I took it to the dealer where I purchased it for this parking sensor recall...

Jeez, reading this thread is making me realize I could have learned the hard way as well. I updated a couple of modules using FDRS without any power supply on the battery. They were the modules related to a frunk partially opening issue. I think maybe they were the FHCM and BCM modules.

As an admitted coffee enthusiast, she's a person after my own heart. There's a guy that parks over by Pacific Sourdough (think pastries extraordinaire) that had the same idea. He's been doing it a couple years now. Haven't tried his coffee yet. It just doesn't get any better than coffee and...

Funny!
